Psalm 74:9-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ We do not see our signs;
    there is no longer any prophet,
    and there is none among us who knows how long.
¹⁰ How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?
    Is the enemy to revile thy name for ever?
¹¹ Why dost thou hold back thy hand,
    why dost thou keep thy right hand in^[a] thy bosom?

¹² Yet God my King is from of old,
    working salvation in the midst of the earth.
¹³ Thou didst divide the sea by thy might;
    thou didst break the heads of the dragons on the waters.
¹⁴ Thou didst crush the heads of Leviathan,
    thou didst give him as food^[b] for the creatures of the wilderness.
¹⁵ Thou didst cleave open springs and brooks;
    thou didst dry up ever-flowing streams.
¹⁶ Thine is the day, thine also the night;
    thou hast established the luminaries and the sun.
¹⁷ Thou hast fixed all the bounds of the earth;
    thou hast made summer and winter.
